Lymph node removal not cancer

I recently had a lymph node removed, it is not believed to be sinister as I've had it years and it's been scanned etc. it has been 10 days and now I can touch it, it feels like the lump is still there. Is it normal to have a lump the size of the scar? I have had no feedback post op even before I left the hospital....I am hoping this is a good sign as if they'd have found something or not been able to remove anything I'd have thought they'd have spoken to me.

 

any feedback appreciated

    I have had a lymph node removed from under my arm it was there for years before I had it removed, not cancerous fortunately. The wound was fine for 4 days then started leaking and it continued for about 4/6 weeks, l had to change the dressing frequently as it was soaked. I hope you don't have this problem, And every thing heals quickly.
